Extension of validity for name reservations and e-form resubmissions due to MCA data center fire

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) has extended the time period for validity of name reservation and resubmission in view of the fire incident on 05.06.2026 at the MCA Data Center.

1. Extension of validity of approved name reservations in cases where the validity of the approved name reservation is expiring between 21.06.2026 and 30.06.2026 (both dates inclusive), the validity of such SRNs shall be extended up to 10.07.2026.

However, for the validity of an approved name reservation for Companies or LLPs (including applications filed through RUN, RUN-LLP and SPICe+ Part A) expired during the period from 05.06.2026 to 20.06.2026, stakeholders may seek extension of the validity period up to 10.07.2026 by raising a ticket with the MCA Helpdesk on or before 30.06.2026.

Such requests shall be examined on a case-by-case basis after due verification, including verification of the continued availability of the approved name.

2. Extension of validity of resubmissions of e-forms in cases where the last date for resubmission falls between 21.06.2026 and 30.06.2026 (both dates inclusive), the validity of such SRNs shall be extended up to 10.07.2026.

However, in respect of e-forms where the last date for resubmission fell between 05.06.2026 and 20.06.2026, stakeholders may seek extension of the resubmission validity period up to 10.07.2026 by raising a ticket with the MCA Helpdesk on or before 30.06.2026.

Where any such e-form has been cancelled, on account of non-resubmission during the aforesaid period, the same may be reopened upon receipt of a request through the MCA Helpdesk. Such requests shall be examined on a case-by-case basis after due verification. Upon approval, the concerned e-form shall be made available for resubmission up to 10.07.2026.
